The creation of UK techno stalwart, Jel Ford, Jericho Recordings has been pushing their take on the funky techno sound since 1998. The Jericho musical philosophy has proved to be a popular one with artists such as Adam Beyer, Funk D Void, Dave Angel, Umek, Steve Rachmad, Cirez D and Joel Mull all contributing to the labels catalogue as well as supporting the music in their sets.
Without a doubt one of the most in-demand production outfits around, Christian Smith & John Selway are coming off a magical twelve months. Genre defining releases for Drumcode, Bedrock, SCI+TEC and Renaissance have put the duo at the top of the sales charts and on countless DJs playlists and if this release is anything to go by there is no sign of that trend ending any time soon Swingworld Finale is exactly what we have come to expect from Smith & Selway - tough, punchy driving grooves with energy to burn. Pitched to a mid-set pace and built around a wonderfully squelchy bassline this is a record designed to set the vibe for the end of the night. Energetic and atmospheric with a serious amount of thump watch this one go off when deployed in dark rooms.
Jericho draft in Paul Ritch to provide the alternative version. With tracks on Get Physical, BPitch Control, SCI+TEC and Wagon Repair there isn't a techno fan worth their salt that won't be giddy at the news of a new Paul Ritch record. Dropping the shimmering chimes from the original over a rolling tribal rhythm the mix has bags of drive and tension adding a twisted, eerie vibe to the track.

LMZ012 – H2 “Clocks EP” Love Minus Zero
With so many artists within the house/tech scene, it's never easy to find one that stands out from the crowd. That is unless you have listened to the speaker bursting productions from one of the UK's finest new production / dj teams - H2. H2 are Sankeys Soap residents & Manchester based Tez Hurst and Danny Hevingham. H2 have come a long way in a short space of time, and if the last 18 months are anything to go by, these two young artists are just warming up - one of the finest new talents on the scene in many a year.

Following a debut release from Pig & Dan comes an EP from one of the most exciting production duos around. Fresh from their acclaimed E=MB2 album in 2008, Belgian techno legend Marco Bailey and long-term studio partner Tom Hades have crafted two mighty slabs of techno power.
Raw energy and speaker-freaking bass is the order of the day with F16. This is a brutal record for those chaotic peak-time moments when all that is called for is high-octane nastiness. Forged from a few simple but extremely well matched elements, this is high-grade incendiary techno at its best
Break The Glass starts where F16 leaves off. Relentless waves of heavy, droning bass under pinned with military snares and jack-hammer beats make this a secret weapon track that if used in the right way can knock a dance floor off its feet and pin it to the ground until it begs for mercy.
